How a Woman DRINKS Soda.

There il marked difference between
the manner in which n woman absorbs
soda water and tho modus operandi
adontcd by the average man. The latter
stands up straight, grasps tho handle of
the glassholdcr firmly, holds 1t up even
with his face, waits till the foam settles
the least triilc, inserts half of his face
in the foam and gulps it down at sin.
gle draught. The woman goes about II
in a different way. She daintiy ex.
tends the thumb and forehnger, picks
up the glass carefully and raises It about
SIX inches from the counter Then she
bends her head forward, and as soon us
she docs so her lips also bend forward
until one would think she was going to
whistle. But sho doesn't. She Just
bends lower and lower until she gets
where she can touch the edge Of the
glass with her extended lips without
wctting the remainder of her features
Furthermore she doesn't finish the task
at the first attempt. She drinks her
soda mcthodically; tho man drinks his
impulsivcly, which shows that in this at
least the difference between mans way
and woman's is reversed. Il Albany

A Big Mistake.

The moulting season, or the season
when hens shed their feathers will soon
be at an end. The process is one that
in certain respects debi,itatcs and pre-
vents hers from laying. The reason OF
this is that the growing of new feathers
requires all the nitrogen and phosphates
contained in the food and there is none
left to form the egg. A curious fact
about the hen, and one that illustrates
the foregoing statement, is tins, II a
hens leg be broken during the laying
season, She will lay her eggs without
shells until the break is mcnded.
The reason for this must be that
all the lime contained in the food is
REQUIRED to unite the broken bone, there
is therefore none for the formation OF
egg shells. The formation OF new fcath-
ers docs not require any carbonaceous or
fat producing food, consequently well
fed hens get very fat during the
mounting. Many farmers and poultry
raisers not understanding all about these
things kill off tlicir old hens because
they think they have stopped laying and
are fat. This IS great mistake, be-
cause if the proper material be furnished
them with their food to supply the in
creased de nand for nitroge AMI phos-
phates before mentioned the
old hens will be through she'd
ding feathers much sooner and
will begin laying on the approach
of cold weather and they will continue
to lay vigorously all winter, while the
Young pullcts, reserved to take the place
of the old hens may not begin to lay
until much later in the season. Very
MANY people have learned from expert
cnce that Sheridan's Condition Powder
mixed once daily with their food will
supply the extra material needed to
strengthen and invigoratc their hens,
enabling them to grow new plu-
mage quickly and commence lay
ing early. Those who commence
now to use Sheridan Powder, will find
that their young pullets will commence
to Law at from four to six months old,
and will lay continuously through the
winter. The Farmers Poultry Raising

THOSE BATTLE FlAGS.
Men Who Filled Rebel Prisons Insist
that They ShnIi Not Go.

At a session of Union ex-prisoners Of the
war the following resolution was adopted:
I'VE consider that the rebel flags captured
during the war Of rebellion should lie held
sacred by the national government that
future generations may know of the gallant
deeds of the thousands of Union soldiers who
lost their lives in defence of the Union, and
that the President of the United States should
comply with the law by displaying them in
some public place.
1t was resolved to do away with all state
associations. and require all local associa-
tons to report directly TO tho national body.
1t was directed that a bill lie drafted, pre-
sented to the G.. A. r. for Endorsement, and
then placed before congress- calling Tor pen
sions for prisoners, those who were in prison
three months to receive quarter pension; six
months, half pension; nine months, three

WEBSTER'S HORROR.
Slow Progress Being Made in Discover
Ing the Murder of l. liza lloyIe.

Ing the Murder Of Lila IloyIe.
The town of Webster, Mass, is still in a
fever of excitement over the murder Of Lila
Hoyle, the details of which are known all
over the country. The officers in charge Of
the case have had a clew or two, but no def
mite conclusion has yet been reached. The
name of the poor uncle, Mr.. Dixon Cowie,
has been connected with the case but wit
ness has been found who establishes an alibi
but rumor connects both him and the witness.
No efforts are being spared to find the guilty
parties, and if found it is likely he will fare
hard.
Miss Hovle is said to have been girl Of
quiet manners and associated with good COM
pany. There have been rumors of certain
matters connected with her name, butsnot suf-
ticient to brand her name. She was very
reticent about her affairs and this fact, to-
gether with the entire absence of any clew
from among her letters photographs OF other
effects, make it difficult to wo.k up the case.

W. H. LIPPINCOTT.
He is Committed to the Insane
Asylum.

On the last trip of the Alameda there
arrived person by the name of w. H
Lippincott. He gave great deal Of
trouble ON board, and there was quite a
scene with him on the wharf soon after
landing. He took up his abode at the
Hotel and created lively time there,
being good hand at slapping faces.
His first business was to write what he
called an account of a trip from San
Francisco to Honolulu. He acted SO
strangely that one almost felt afraid OF
him. 1t has been found necessary to
have him examined, and the evidence
given below in the Police Court yester-
day shows that he is insane.
S. G. Tucker, NJ. D., sworn, stated: I
called on Lippincott on Tuesday. Was
with him about an hour. He does not
act like man of sane mind. He said
he wanted something to eat at late
hour and followed the steward around
and slapped him. He showed me how
he did it. He said he had followed Mr.
Bartlett to Waikiki to give him lick
ing. He read to me his travels, which
were disconnected. 1t gave me the inn
preston of an unsound mind. / am OF
the opinion Lippincott is of unsound
mind and should not be at large. He is
non compos mentos. He said he came
here to join the Rifles and get shot. He
also said he had been in an insane
asylum.
E. G. Webb, M. D., sworn, stated:
have seen Lippincott of and on the last
three days. 1 consider him of unsound
mind and should not hold him response
bic for any act He is non compos
mentos. l have had about fifteen years
experience with the insane. Lippincott
has threatened to shoot two or three
persons.
John Brodie, M. D., sworn, stated: l
saw Lippincott in the Hotel last Satur-
day evening, and from what I saw of
him he is of unsound mind, and the pub
lie requires his restraint.
w. S. Bartlett, sworn, stated: I am
manager of the Hotel. Lippincott came
from San Francisco on her last trip. He
had only two or three dollars when he
arrived. He is a quarrelsome person
and acts as if he were insane. He
makes insane remarks.
Officer Pahu, sworn, stated: looked
after Lippincott, and he assaulted me
by slapping my face. He was restless,
and did not lay down till nearly mid
night. He acted like an insane person.
His Honor committed Lippincott to
the Insane Asylum, to be dealt with ac-
cording to law.
